SYCIP BIKES Urban Track Bike Frameset
Urban track bike with "just the right amount of room" for daily use in urban areas
Following the 1×1 style MTB by RETROTEC , we asked Jeremy Sisip, builder of SYCIP DESIGN , to design an urban track bike as the "third model" based on Tanaka's own prejudice. If the RETROTEC model was a bike to be "used up" off-road, we asked SYCIP DESIGN builder Jeremy Sisip to design a bike that would "step out firmly and bring quiet satisfaction" on asphalt, at traffic lights, on hills, and in the hustle and bustle.
What we asked for was a simple track bike with no gear shifting and no decoration. A bike with the street sensibility of a Surly Steamroller, but a little more subtle, a little more serene, and a little more in tune with "what I'm feeling right now. It is a product that is a little more subtle, a little more gentle, and a little more in tune with the "mood of the moment. It seemed only natural that Jeremy Sisip, with the best welding skills in California, would be able to bring this to life.
While eliminating unnecessary decoration, we have given thorough consideration to ease of use.
With clearance to accommodate tires up to 35c and the ability to mount fenders, the design is ideal for everyday use in the city.
The colors are based on the coloring that existed in the past and updated with the genuine Porsche colors of the 70's, paying homage to the Steamroller.PORSCHE GREY is a subtle coloring that changes its expression depending on the light, while CANDY BROWN is the color that Porsche wore in the past. CANDY BROWN has a color that changes with the light, and PORSCHE GREY has the inexpressible depth that the Porsche of yesteryear wore.
